28. The formation of stable seven-membered chelate rings of the ruthenium catalyst and the Z-isomer cannot be ruled out as it was observed that ruthenium(II) in these solutions was considerably less sensitive to oxygen than the corresponding systems containing the E-isomer.

30. Using pyridine as a stoichiometric or catalytic additive did not increase conversion with unreactive substrates. Therefore, pyridine substituents most likely serve as coordination sites.
